Research direction

Start at the merge entry point named in the issue and determine how a verbose option would be exposed. Define the four requested row counts and the expected output format, then add coverage showing that verbose merge reports them without changing normal merge behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature request joins non-equi joins top request

It would be great to have some output on the merge operation like:

  • Rows in x
  • Rows in y
  • Matched rows
  • Total rows after merge

This feature would make it easier to understand what happened.

A verbose option could do: merge(...,verbose = T) for example
